HP & Jumper mix it up

Saturday, January 12th, 2008 Posted in TV | No Comments »

Has anyone seen the new cross promotion from HP and the new movie Jumper? It's definitely a different way to do things. 2 :15s with a minute long HP commercial in the middle. Got my attention! Many different places you could take ...

Hallmark spends, gets nada in return

Thursday, December 6th, 2007 Posted in TV | No Comments »

The other night on CBS there was a TV movie special called Picture of Hollis Woods. I can't remember anything special about the movie, it seemed like any other TV worthy feature. However, the entire presentation was sponsored by Hallmark ...

PC vs. Mac ad #29

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 Posted in TV | No Comments »

Some people are growing tired of these ads. But they still make me laugh. The latest installment, "Misprint," is hilarious. Or maybe it's just my famous sense of humour. Either way, it's worth a look.

McDonald’s gets their groove back

If you ignore the fact that McDonald's makes you fat and that one Big Mac is half your allowed calorie intake for the day then you can see the beauty in this ad. It's dead simple. It's cool. And it has ...

New Spin on Office Life

Ads from CareerBuilder.com. My roommates think they are hilarious and as my key focus group, up they go on the blog. While a bit below their target market, these definitely get the attention of my demographic and without a doubt ...

WOW + Toyota = ?

Monday, October 8th, 2007 Posted in TV | 2 Comments »

From Autoblog comes Toyota's new commercial for their Toyota Tacoma. Apparently it aired this past Sunday during football but I can't independently confirm that. I can't say I've ever seen a commercial like this before, nor can I explain why Toyota ...

Playdoh finally released

Thursday, October 4th, 2007 Posted in TV | 1 Comment »

It's finally here! But this version doesn't do it justice. Go to their website to check out the real deal (in high def). Not too shabby Sony! Much better than Paint for starters. And the whale in the street is just ...

Australian Anti smoking Ad

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 Posted in TV | 2 Comments »

This ad comes to us from the Australian Anti-smoking organization Quit Victoria. I can't get the image of this woman's face out of my head. The visuals are quite plain and force you to focus on her mouth while she ...

Dove Campaign Sequel

Monday, October 1st, 2007 Posted in TV | No Comments »

It's funny that just after I write a post on how Bravia's sequel to Balls was less than impressive, I stumble upon Dove's sequel to their Evolution spot. I have to say, "Sorry boys, no Gold Lion this year." I ...
